Year 1Foundations of Strategy and LeadershipThis module will help the Apprentice become more effective in their Strategic Leadership role. It focusses on the skills needed to operate at a strategic level in their organisation, and in so doing, they will create a personal leadership development plan and a strategic leadership plan.
Finance and Business Data AnalysisThis module introduces the concepts and associated tools that are fundamental to the analysis of organisations through their financial statements, management reports and operationally derived data.
The main focus is to integrate key concepts of finance, accounting and data analysis to effectively evaluate business performance with the aim of informing operational practice and business strategy.
Work-based Learning Project: Analysing our Strategic ContextSenior business leaders are responsible for developing and implementing major strategy or institutional projects that will contribute towards organisational strategic objectives. This module consists of a situational analysis in which the organisation and its context are analysed and an area for business improvement is identified. In consultation with internal stakeholders, this analysis is then used to propose an innovation project for the Apprentices second year.
Year 2Leading and Managing PeopleThis module equips the Apprentice with the knowledge and the skills to lead and manage change in the organisation by understanding what motivates individuals in an organisational setting, including the culture and values of both individuals and organisations. It will help the Apprentice create an environment for innovation and creativity, acquire people management skills to lead and manage change, and consider the ethics of change the Apprentice will be promoting in the organisation.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Digital EraInnovation is the principal task of senior managers and leaders. Inspiring and driving innovation on a business level separates implementers from inspiring, value creating leaders. These leaders need an entrepreneurial mind-set and the capabilities to innovate. The Apprentice will develop the skills to establish and sustain innovation across a spectrum of novelty and risk. We will deep dive into “do better”, radical, “do different”, and disruptive innovation.
Work-based Learning Project: Innovation ProjectThe module will provide the Apprentice with the means to analyse fundamental business operations activities with the focus on design/re-design solutions to overcome operational and strategic issues. It will promote an innovative approach to business modelling and the underlying business processes. It consists of the design and delivery of an innovation project of strategic importance to the organisation.
Entry requirementsIndividual employers will set the selection criteria for their Apprenticeships in discussion with the University.
Applicants will have a minimum of three years strategic management or leadership experience. English and Maths will be required at a minimum of Level 2 (GCSE) prior to the End Point Assessment.
